Engaging story

I love the writing of the story. I wish it could have been narrated by the same person as the previous Eugenia mysteries.

Story4.5 out of 5 stars 3,327
Separated by 10 years, 3,000 miles, and the unrelenting stresses of adulthood, best friends Janet and Serena plan a 40th birthday girls’ trip to reconnect. But after a massive crash, they’re the only survivors to wash ashore on an uncharted Caribbean Island. Armed with only the clothes on their backs and zero survival skills, they fight to overcome hunger, thirst, deadly wildlife—and most terrifyingly—decades of accrued resentment. Can they find their way home, or will they kill each other first?

De Lo Mio!!

Relevant and Relatable
Reviewed: 09-16-24
I loved how it is relevant to all BIPOC. Gentrification, cultural bias of mental health, healthcare injustice, millennial views of the workforce, the lasting effects of mass incarceration. The only problem is it needs to be a novel and a Broadway play.

When Amanda Eyre Ward's 13-year-old son, Harry, dove headfirst into the world of sneaker culture, she found herself baffled by his obsession with flashy, expensive shoes that seemed like mere status symbols. Determined to bridge the gap with her teenage son, Ward reluctantly decided to embrace the mantra of "if you can't beat 'em, join 'em". As she shed her preconceptions and immersed herself in the quest to snag the latest drops, Ward discovered a community far richer than she had imagined.

What a Mother Won't Do
Reviewed: 09-06-24
This is a great memoir. It really reveals to a "T" what we as mothers won't do to connect with our children. We sometimes forget what it's like to be a preteen. This is an education of the world of 21st century adolescence.

Reviewed: 08-12-20
This is one of my favorite books. I re-read it for nostalgic reasons. Upon buying the audible I had hoped to hear the rich voices of the black people in Charleston SC. Having lived there for 4 years. I was so disappointed in the narration. It was a southern accent. Not the rich, deep melody of Gullah (Geechee) native tongue. A tonal language that reminds you of low country boils, windswept beaches, and sweet grass baskets.
